About our BBQ catering in Wellhouse
Hosting a barbecue generally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. Popular choices include BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and sports clubs and team events.
In a small place like Wellhouse, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:

- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit

How the day works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Sunset in Wellhouse is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.

What else we do in Wellhouse
Wellhouse: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Wellhouse?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Wellhouse. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
How do you handle food safety?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
